I agree, so what's the best way to fix this? Implementing protectionist trade policies will not increase out influence with them. The rest of they world will continue to do business with them anyway, it will be like cuba (times about 100,000). How much did our 50 year boycott of cuba help their people?

Regarding unsafe toys, their customers (mattel, etc.) will have much more influence than the U.S. government because they can actually do something substantive.
